Hi, Daoiri recently posted a video in which he sings the song Blackwater Side, which is different from the versions I know. Does anyone have the lyrics to the song? Here's the link to it: Daoiri Farrell - Blackwater Side

Whatever its true title is (Daoiri calls it Blackwater Side, so…?) it’s excellent! Daoiri’s live shows are great.

Of course a name is just a name, Blackwoodsman... The title I gave was the one used for the lyrics in the Digital Tradition that I linked to. And, by the way, it is Roud 6319.

There is also a discussion thread for this song with a few more text versions: Origins: The Bonny Irish Maid .

Thanks Reinhard - of course I wasn’t suggesting you were wrong, just acknowledging both possibilities.

Just found this recording from Tim Browne. There's also lyrics and chords.
